Description

Title of the invention: Modular LED string lights with snap buttons for inflatable mattresses Technical field of the invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a string of lights designed to fit onto an inflatable mattress by means of a system of snap buttons. Technical background

[0002] In terms of outdoor activities, particularly during camping or bivouacking, lighting systems for inflatable mattresses are limited and separate from the product itself.

[0003] Users therefore often resort to external lighting solutions, which can be cumbersome, impractical and does not optimally meet the user's lighting needs.

[0004] Indeed, on most commercially available products, the autonomy of the available lighting is very low and is concentrated on specific areas.

[0005] This lack of autonomy not only creates visual discomfort but also poses a safety risk. In a camping or outdoor environment, the main places of use for this type of device, obstacles and uneven terrain are frequent.

[0006] Therefore, and taking into account the existence of areas of darkness around the mattress, inadequate lighting can lead to falls or accidents.

[0007] Furthermore, traditional lighting systems are not always designed to withstand external elements sufficiently. They are exposed to humidity, sand, or other natural elements that can lead to failures, thus reducing the efficiency and safety of the lighting.

[0008] Moreover, light sources are generally directed at the user's field of vision, which creates a risk of glare. A source of discomfort and eye strain, glare is particularly unpleasant during activities requiring prolonged visual concentration.

[0009] Moreover, the risks of glare are the source of a difficulty specific to camping, bivouacking or astronomy enthusiasts, namely that of not being able to observe the starry sky.

[0010] Traditionally, the use of light sources, such as camping lamps or lanterns, can interfere with the stargazing experience. These lights often illuminate the surrounding area, creating a halo of light that obscures the stars and makes it difficult to appreciate the starry sky.

[0011] Furthermore, high-performance lighting systems are often bulky and heavy, thus hindering the user's movement. Independent and cumbersome lighting systems usually occupy a significant amount of space and add considerable weight to camping equipment.

[0012] This is especially true since users wishing to combine strip lighting with their inflatable mattress encounter an integration problem. Strip lights available on the market are not designed to easily adapt to or attach to inflatable mattresses, forcing users to manage two separate products: the mattress and the lighting system. Managing two separate systems makes installation more complex and less intuitive.

[0013] Finally, standard lighting systems offer little flexibility in terms of customization, as the available options are limited and unsuitable for each user's specific needs. Users are often restricted to basic lighting options, without the possibility of modifying the intensity, color, or light patterns. This lack of customization prevents them from creating an ambiance that matches their tastes or the desired atmosphere for their rest or relaxation space. Description of the invention

[0014] The present invention is specifically designed to avoid these drawbacks of the prior art.

[0015] For this purpose, it proposes a modular light string system equipped with push buttons distributed along the string, with precise spacing between each button.

[0016] This system is remarkable in that it is specially designed to be easily clipped to an inflatable mattress which has snap buttons corresponding to the positions of the LEDs on the string.

[0017] One advantage of this modular string light is that it provides optimal and uniform lighting around the inflatable mattress. The snap fasteners on the LED strip easily attach to the corresponding snap fasteners on the mattress, ensuring complete illumination, eliminating dark areas, and improving safety in camping or outdoor environments.

[0018] It is manufactured with weather-resistant materials, such as water and dust resistance. This design ensures long-term durability, guaranteeing that the LED strip continues to operate reliably in any environment.

[0019] It is also positioned so as to diffuse the light softly and evenly without dazzling the user. In addition, the light intensity can be adjusted via a Bluetooth app or a remote control to avoid excessive glare.

[0020] The light emitted by the string lights is positioned below the user's field of vision when they are lying on the mattress, thus providing optimal night vision. This positioning ensures that no light radiation enters their eyes directly and disrupts their vision, allowing them to benefit from 360° illumination of their surroundings.

[0021] Regarding the issue of transport and bulk, the LED strip is lightweight, thin, and flexible, and its modular design, which allows it to be folded, makes it easy to store and transport. Furthermore, it easily connects to a small external battery via a USB output, thus eliminating the need to carry additional bulky power sources.

[0022] Furthermore, the specially designed snap fasteners on the LED strip are perfectly aligned with the corresponding snap fasteners on the inflatable mattress, ensuring a secure and stable attachment. This seamless integration transforms the inflatable mattress and the LED strip into a single system, thus eliminating the need to manage two separate products and also simplifying the installation and use of the lighting.

[0023] Finally, this modular LED strip light offers complete customization, allowing users to control brightness, color, and lighting effects. They can choose from a range of colors, adjust the light intensity for a soft or vibrant atmosphere, and even select special effects such as color transitions, flashing, or light patterns.

[0024] The luminous LED strip according to the invention may further comprise one or more of the following characteristics, which may be combined with each other: • A circuit of electrical components with light-emitting diodes, spaced every 2 cm, integrated along the LED light strip for uniform 360-degree lighting all around the inflatable mattress known as "Coziya" (registered trademark, no. 4921216). • Integrated snap buttons along the entire length of the modular LED light strip. Snap buttons are attached to the inflatable mattress and to the modular LED light strip, which then connect to each other. • A USB output integrated at the end of the modular LED light strip, allowing the user to easily connect it to an external battery. • An infrared receiver integrated into the USB output allows the user to change the colors of the LED strip lights. modular, via a Bluetooth application or a remote control. Brief description of the drawings

[0025] The invention will be better understood and other features and advantages will become more apparent upon reading the description given below by way of purely illustrative and non-limiting examples, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

[0026] [Fig-1] shows the modular LED light strip in top view;

[0027] [Fig.2] shows, in top view, the modular interlocking LED light strip with the inflatable mattress known as "Coziya" (registered trademark). Description of the implementation methods

[0028] [Fig.1] represents modular LED light strip 1 provided with light diodes 3 and push buttons 2. The modular LED light strip 1 is also equipped with an infrared receiver 4 and a USB output 5.

[0029] [Fig.2] presents the modular LED light strip 1 according to the invention, designed to integrate perfectly with a Coziya 7 inflatable mattress, thus transforming two initially incompatible objects into a single functional device. The assembly of the modular LED light strip 1 and the Coziya inflatable mattress 7 is made possible by means of snap buttons 2.

[0030] The modular LED light strip 1 is indeed equipped with push buttons 2 along its length, corresponding precisely to the push buttons 6 located all around the Coziya inflatable mattress 7.

[0031] The operation of the modular LED light strip 1 according to the invention is as follows.

[0032] The user must clip the modular LED light strip 1 all around the Coziya 7 inflatable mattress by aligning the corresponding snap buttons 2 and 6.

[0033] The user must then connect the modular LED light strip 1 to an external battery via the USB output 5. Once the modular LED light strip 1 is connected, the LEDs 3 of the modular LED light strip 1 will automatically light up.

[0034] Using a Bluetooth application or a remote control, the user will be able to adjust the color, light intensity and light effects according to their preferences.

[0035] Following these manipulations, the modular LED light strip 1 will diffuse a uniform light all around the Coziya 7 inflatable mattress, illuminating the environment harmoniously, regardless of the targeted location. List of reference signs
